listened to this today
it's pretty damn neat and has cool harmonies but I don't know if it's something I'd relisten to
I also relistened to the Musicians of the Ikuta School's Japanese Koto Consort and shit it was a lot better than I remembered

>Moorish a main style
"Moorish" is general cultural term for the people of the Western Sahara and Morocco, it's defined differently depending on who you ask. Some people would say that only berbers are moors, others would say that Arabs from that area are too, there are a group of weirdos in America who think the moors were a group of black emperor-scientists who ruled Europe.
>Whats that instrument?

I saw you post about me in another thread, saying I was a hack or something while posting that image, suggesting that you've listened to music from more countries than me. I was pretty triggered desu because explr.fm counts all music including popular music, and is pretty shit at indexing. According to my own count, I have listened to /trad/ from 143 countries so far.

This seems a pretty based thread. Anyone got any South American music? No idea how I've managed to get Somalia on there before South Africa or India.

If you like folk (well like south american folk) try Alfredo Zitarrosa from Uruguay.
Really great guitar playing and if you speak spanish, really amazing lyrics.

Just came to /mu/ to ask a question relating to this sort of thing, glad to see a thread for it. I've been really digging music with much more eastern scale focus and a lot of bends and harmonics and simple stripped back instrumentation. Stuff like ancient chinese zither and indian sitar and carnatic vocal music, even eastern orthodox chant, but I was wondering is there a specific name for the sort of arabic/persian equivalent of the carnatic classical vocal style? Because I always seem to like those phrases more but don't know specifically what to search for to be able to listen to it. Going through youtube related videos is very hit and miss.

If you have a look at the Smithsonian Folkways link in the OP you can search by countries and instruments.
